Legato Frames use on device AI to amplify voices and reduce background noise for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss.

Legato begins selling its Legato Frames hearing glasses for $999, according to TechCrunch. The glasses are designed for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss.

The frames use AI to separate voices from background noise, amplify speech and reduce unwanted sounds. Processing occurs on the glasses without cameras or recording. An open ear speaker system directs sound toward the wearer and reduces escaping audio by 99% within a few inches of the ear, according to the company.

Legato Frames weigh 34 grams with lenses and provide 10 to 12 hours of battery life. They support prescription lenses, music and calls over Bluetooth, and come in three styles. Customers can buy them through Legato's website and select eye care providers in the United States, with vision insurance coverage available.

The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
